Packing up...

Three terrific Powell women descended upon us this weekend with a mission to help us pack and declutter the house and get it ready to sell. Fender's "Great Linda (Drew's Aunt); his Godmother, Manassa; and cousin Loryn showed up on Friday and worked tremendously hard all weekend long. My sister showed up Sunday to help too. The Powell crew packed up, Fender assisted quite a bit, LaLa did some home repairs, Daddy was our muscle mover, and I made sure everyone had something to do and cleaned up Fender's toys. It was a huge group effort and somehow lots of fun too. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE WORK AND ALL THE FUN!!

Oddly, we were so busy we didn't get many pictures of the grownups at work.

Taking a "scooter" break on Sunday. I rode my bike and he rode the scooter up and down the drive way for a bit.


Helping LaLa caulk the bathtub.


"Daddy and I have the same color eyes!"


"And here, Momma says I'm the spitting image of Daddy with this expression!!"


Me and Momma.


In case the packing surprises anyone, we are not officially moving anywhere yet, but the plan is to get the house listed and try to sell ASAP (in a month or two) so that we can get a house big enough for all of us and settle in over in the NE Dallas area, closer to Drew's work and with good schools for the kids. Our goal is to sell the house quick and get settled into the new place before the twins arrive. Yep...it is nothing short of a monumental task that will likely involve at least a medium to large size miracle. So I invite all your prayers that everything will work out with minimal stress involved for all.

And...in case you haven't noticed, I've begun occasional updates of the twins at www.growingupboswell.blogspot.com. There is a link to the left. And after Fender's 3rd birthday in October, that will become our family blog.
